Lost River Lodge is an authentic log cabin intimately nestled amongst twenty six wooded acres, backing up to National Forest Service land, and overlooking one of the Smokey Mountain’s most scenic wonders, the Nantahala Gorge. Newly refurnished, no expense has been spared in attempting to make this the perfect vacation destination to create a lifetime of memories. We truly want you to feel like this Is your “home away from home.” Whether you are looking for a romantic get away with that special someone in your life, a family looking for a place to create a lifetime of lasting memories, an avid outdoorsman, a fly fisherman, or just looking for some peace and quiet, Lost River Lodge has it all. Located just minutes away from the Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC), which boasts of zip lining, white water rafting, and kayaking, it is also just minutes away from what has been voted one of the finest fly fishing rivers in the United States. While being in very close proximity to the Bartram Trail, which passes along the ridge above Lost River Lodge, for hiking, and Lake Nantahala which offers boat rentals, fishing, water skiing, kayaking, and paddle boarding, Lost River Lodge is very conveniently located just 12 miles from the quaint town of Andrews, 21 miles from Murphy, and 23 miles from Bryson City, for easy access to all of the areas major attractions. It is a 1 1/2 hour drive from Asheville Regional Airport, in Asheville, and a 2 1/2 hour drive from Hartsfield - Jackson, Atlanta International Airport, in Atlanta. (Our personal suggestion, based on experience, would be to fly into Asheville, which is a small regional airport located just off of Interstate 40, and a much more pleasant drive.) While Lost River Lodge is very accessible, a gravel road leads to the cabin. The road was completely reconstructed, and reconfigured in January, 2023. If you are renting a vehicle, an SUV, or minivan would be suggested. Four wheel drive, or all wheel drive, would be suggested, but not necessarily required. Sports cars or cars with low ground clearance may find access challenging. The main roads in the area are paved, however, most, if not all of the cabins in the area, are on private, single lane, gravel roads. There are numerous scenic mountain bike trails to be enjoyed in the area and if you are up for a beautiful, yet challenging drive, on either two, or four wheels, take a run through the “Tail of the Dragon”, which is just a short drive away, as is the Appalachian Trail. Lost River Lodge offers a very convenient location, as well as, the serenity and seclusion that can only be afforded by being located on twelve wooded acres. As you enter the acreage surrounding Lost River Lodge, you will be greeted by a babbling brook, which we have named, the “Lost River”, as it appears, and disappears, under ground, depending on the time of the year of your visit. Lost River Lodge has two bedrooms each with new queen size beds, a loft with a queen size flex steel sleeper sofa, and a twin size roll away bed. It sleeps up to eight people, four adults and four children, or seven adults comfortably. Luxurious sheets and bedding make sleeping a dream after a hard day, of having fun, and enjoying all that the area has to offer. There is a cozy gas fire place for those chilly nights, when you just want to snuggle around a warm fire, with that special someone in your life. The great room, bed rooms, and loft all have flat screen televisions, Direct T.V., and there is satellite internet access available throughout cabin. Cell phone reception is excellent with even the most temperamental carriers providing service on the lower deck. If your group consists of more than eight people, we have a strategic alliance with another vacation rental property within walking distance of the Lost River Lodge that can accommodate up to seven additional guests. When you are not inside the cabin, enjoying the decor and the rustic log cabin experience, you will want to sit outside on one of the two main decks enjoying the “million-dollar view” overlooking the Nantahala gorge. While enjoying the deck, view, and music of the waterfalls, located on the property, toast a marshmallow or two over the beautifully crafted stone fire pit, or relax with a glass of wine in the four-person hot tub located conveniently on the deck outside of the downstairs bedroom. Please note that there are three security cameras located around the outside perimeter of the cabin covering the parking area, front door, and rear doors. These will be deactivated at check in. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the mountains ### Things to do - Casino nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Water skiing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Security system - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 1,200 square feet ## Similar properties ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91890000/91884800/91884793/23f5d1e3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cabin on Nantahala River!

The property is private and has stunning views. The fire pit and decks and hot tub offer multiple outside areas to enjoy time together. The cabin is fully stocked with everything I needed, way more than most VRBO homes. While this was so peaceful and remote, it’s a very short drive from NOC and each day we enjoyed the activities around and on the Nantahala River, then a quick drive “home” for a little rest by the fire pit. I will be coming back again soon, this was a special place… ##### Andrew M.

Not only that, there were short hikes, a mountain stream, gorgeous sunrises, and a very romantic setting. We LOVED it! ##### Stephen and Blair S.

Of all the places we have rented over the years together, this cabin had the best pots and pans ever!

Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### William P. 10 Oct 2018 #### We really enjoyed the property but we're frustrated with the road to get there. The cabin is very comfortable and well appointed with a spectacular view. The one lane access road needs better maintence. Damp conditions plus leaves made climbing a 30 degree road a true challenge. The cabin is tasteful and very clean. The fire pit and the hot tub were added bonuses. I really loved the property but the road needs immediate work. ##### William P. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa K. 5 Aug 2018 #### Beautiful view and solitude ! This house gave us the privacy and quiet we were hoping for in a mountain top cabin. The view of the Nantahala forest from the back decks was just beautiful! We enjoyed using the hot tub and the gas grill. The house was well stocked with kitchen and linen goods. The House was also well located to many great hikes in the area. The owner was extremely responsive. Our one challenge was the incline on the gravel road getting up to the house after the rain. The owner says he is already working to remedy. This house was great for solitude and the view. ##### Lisa K.

Beautiful views and an awesome outdoor area to enjoy. Pro tip: it takes the hot tub a few hours to get cooking, so turn it on earlier in the day you plan to use it or at the beginning of your trip! Dr. A was super communicative if we had any questions. One note: the owner mentioned the road was getting regraded soon and there had obviously been heavy rains and recent slides throughout the region, we came in two cars and were unable to make it all the way up to the property in the vehicle that didn’t have all-wheel drive. Dr. A helped us find a safe place to park the car, but just something to be aware of if you have the option to bring an all-wheel or four-wheel drive car to the area. The coffee pot is a Keurig in case you’re shopping before heading up :) Would definitely stay again! ##### Dana B.

The home is just what our family of 6 was looking for to celebrate our sons birthday (16) and wife’s birthday ! Great tranquil setting that allowed us to get away from our crazy daily lives. The VIEWS are amazing and to have those views require you to drive up steep roads - we knew that coming in and did not have a problem with the one lane gravel road . We did have a bear sighting (Momma and baby) driving on our way down the “long and winding driveway” one evening that we all wished we had the camera ready . The house is a well appointed cozy mountain house. The kitchen is well stocked and provided us with all the necessary items. The views are what make this house special and the double deck that allows you to enjoy the tremendous Gorge scenery is well worth the cost of rental . Our kids enjoyed building fires in the large fire pit on the lower deck and enjoying the views from the second deck hot tub. S’mores every night was a hit ! On top of all mentioned, the owner is so responsive and concerned that you had a great vacation . Best owner VRBO experience we have ever had ! Thank you Dr A. for allowing our family to spend a memorable long weekend at your place . We will return! ##### Debbie F.

We enjoyed the peace and quite, all that a cabin in the mountains should be. ##### Tommy B.

He took care of some unforseen and unavoidable issue with the Jacuzzi while he was at Disney with his family. ##### Matthew L.
